Two men have denied harassing Tanya Brookes, the former high-ranking Surrey Police officer jailed for fraud offences earlier this year.

Paul Garland, 62, and Haroun Salaman, 58, both from Wisley, pleaded not guilty to one charge of harassment without violence against Brookes when they appeared at Crawley Magistrates' Court on Wednesday (October 15).

The pair are accused of harassing the disgraced former inspector between August 2013 and January 2014 as well as delivering letters about her court hearings to her Godalming neighbours in May.

Both will stand trial at Brighton Magistrates' Court on January 16 next year.

In February this year, Brookes was found guilty of 25 counts of fraud and in March she pleaded guilty to five further fraud-related charges.

The ex-chief inspector was jailed for 30 months, reduced to 18 months on appeal. She was released from prison in September.
